Sorcerers are easily the most powerful class as a low-level character. Their essence transit special ability allows them to heal enormous amounts of hit points every time they cast a spell.

This incredible power quickly fades away, however, because essence transit does not improve as you gain levels and still heals the same number of hit points. What begins as a massive advantage becomes almost inconsequential as the Sorcerer matures, and his entire game plan will change accordingly, usually focusing more heavily on his enlarged mana pool.

Gnomes get plenty of extra mana potions, which refill more due to the Sorcerer's high mana.

Deities

Mystera gives both more efficient fireballing via Mystic Balance, and a lot of mana in the endgame with Refreshment. An obvious and strong choice.

Jehora Jeheyu's health bonus can be quite useful to a Sorcerer and enable him to fight higher level enemies that would otherwise be impossible due to being one-shot killers before the Sorcerer's healing can kick in. Chaos Avatar, typically used as an extra level-up during the boss fight with associated mana refill, also synergizes well with the sorcerer's large mana pool.
